     Many Indians reacted differently by the introduction of western style clothing.

     1.   The wealthy Parsis of western India were among the first to adapt western style
          clothing. Baggy trousers and the Phenta (or hat) were added to long colorless coats with
          boots and a walking stick to look like a gentleman. To some western clothes were a sign
          of modernity and progress.
     2.   There were others who were convinced that western culture would lead to a loss of tra-
          ditional cultural identity.
     3.   The use of western style clothes was taken as a sign of the world turning upside
          down.
     4.   Some men resolved this dilemma by wearing western clothes without giving up
          their Indian ones.
     5.   Anyother relevant point.


                                                  143
Any three points to be given.                                                              3x1=3

19    The climate of India is governed by the following atmospheric conditions
      a)    Pressure and surface winds.
      b)    Upper air circulation.
      c)    Western cyclonic disturbances and tropical cyclones.

(a)   The Pressure and wind conditions over India are unique. During winter high pressure develops
      north of the Himalayas, cold dry winds blow to the south. In summer, a low pressure area
      develops over interior Asia as well as over north western India. This causes complete reversal
      of winds. These winds blow over the ocean and get moisture. They bring rainfall over the
      India.

(b)   The upper air circulation in the region is dominated by westerly flow. The jet stream is an
      important flow. These jet streams are located approximately over
      27o-30o north latitude. Over India these jet streams blow south of the Himalayas.

(c)   The Western disturbances experienced in the north and most western parts of the country
      are brought in by the westerly flow.                                             3x1=3

20. Thorn forests and scrubs are found in the north western part of India including semi-arid
    areas of Gujrat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. 1
    mark

      Characterstics :

      (i)   Trees are scattered and have longroots penclrating deep into soil to get moisture.

      (ii) Stems are succulent to conserve water.

      (iii) Leaves are thick and small to minimise evaporation. (any 2)                          1+2=3 marks

21. Processes of population change:
      There are three main processes of change in population:
      (i)   Birth Rates.
      (ii) Death Rates and.
      (iii) Migration.

Birth Rate is the number of live births per thousand persons in a year. It is a major component of growth of
population. In India birth rates have always been higher than death rates.

Death Rate is the number of deaths per thousand persons in a year. Rapid decline in death rates is the main
cause of growing population rapidly. Since 1981 birth rates have also starteddeclining gradually resulting in a
gradual decline in the rate of population growth.

Migration is the movement of people across regions and territories. Migration can be internal or international.
Internal migration does not change the size of the population within the nation.


                                                     144
Migration plays a very significant role in changing the composition and distribution of population.
                                                                                                          3x1=3

23.    Necessity of Rights
      (i) Every citizen has to have the right to vote and right to be elected to the government.
      (ii) For democratic elections to take place, it is necessary that citizens should know the      right to ex-
           press their opinion, form political parties and take part in politics.
      (iii) Rights to protect minorities from the oppression of majority.
      (iv) Rights are guarantees which can be used when things go wrong.

24.   To estimate the poverty line in India.
      1.    A common method used to measure poverty is based on the income or consumption levels.
      2.    While determining the poverty line in India, a minimum level of food requirement, clothing,foot wear,
            fuel and light, educational and medical requirement etc. are determined for subsistence.
      3.    While estimating the poverty line is based on the desired Calory requirement. The accepted average
            calory requirement in India is 2400 calories per person perday in rural areas and 2100 calories as
            per person per day in urban areas.
      4.    In the year 2000, the poverty line for a person was fixed at Rs. 328 per month for the rural areas and
            Rs 454 for the urban areas.                                                                     3x1=3

25. Food security has following dimensions:-
      1.    Availability of food means food production within the country, food imports and the
            previous years stock stored in government granaries.
      2.    Accessibility means food is within reach of every person
      3.    Affordability implies that an individual has enough money to buy sufficient, safe and
            nutritious food to meet one's dietary needs.                                   3x1=3

      3.    Simple devices such as crop dusting airplanes or small perfume automizers are effective
            delivery systems for biological agents.
      4.    Biological agents are generally associated with a delay in the onset of illness.

27. Some of the possible mitigation strategies are.
     (i)     Hazard Mapping: Inventories and maps of storage locations of toxins or hazardous substances
             along with the possible characteristics should be displayed and known to all.
     (ii) Land use Planning: Densely populated residential areas should be located at a distance from
          the industrial areas. A buffer zone./ green belt should separate both.
     (iii) Community preparedness: The community should be aware of the hazardous installations and
